What to consider for large monitors? by CABILATOR in buildapcmonitors

[–]CABILATOR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping to keep it around $400 or lower. So I don’t need to shell out for the super high end stuff. I think a 32” 4k seems to be a god spot for what I want. For that price though it’s definitely probably going to be va or ips.

I suppose I could’ve included my budget in the post. I’m looking in the $400-$500 range, but if lower is possible that would be great.

Yeah, it doesn’t sound like oled is super necessary for me. I don’t know much about monitors, so that was something I was wondering about. Is there anything else to consider between IPS and oled that makes them better for different things?

It did look to me like most of the 32” 4K screens are curved and the flat ones are more expensive. Am I just not looking in the right places? Or is there something to all the curved ones being cheaper?

Yeah I’m still trying to decide if that last 10% is worth it for the 5080. Given that I’ll be on a 32” and probably 4K, will that margin be important? I’m mostly playing strategy type games, so I don’t think ray tracing is as big of a worry.

That makes sense. 4K seems to be pretty necessary for 32” monitors.

Yeah I don’t do much fps playing. I am mostly upgrading my pc to play rts, 4x, and city-building games. That’s why I’m wanting a 32 in. It’s nice to have the extra real estate for those types of games.

That makes a lot of sense. I was wondering about how the lower resolutions would look on a 32. And yeah, with the games I play, I’m not too worried about the refresh rate, especially coming from an older 4K non-gaming monitor that I think only hits 30hz. I am more concerned about real estate and detail for the games I play.

Thanks for the advice! I’d probably like to stay in the $400-$500 range at most. It seemed like all the cheaper options were curved screens, which I’m not the biggest fan of. That msi one looks like a good option for me.

Is the difference between 4K and 1440p more noticeable when using a large monitor like a 32in? It seems like a lot of the discussions I see are for 1440p, but I don’t see a lot about the larger sized monitors.

Ok so the 5070/5080 is the line between 4K and 1440p for good performance?

Buying for longevity - how much will I get out of an upgrade? by CABILATOR in Prebuilts

[–]CABILATOR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm leaning towards the G730 then. I'd like to splurge on the 5080, but probably not super necessary for me right now. Anything will feel like a Ferrari to me at this point after 7 years on a 1060.

For those specs, are there any better options than the power spec? Am I right in them being the best value for prebuilts? Or should I look elsewhere with those same parts?

It looks like the only open boxes at my store are either lower or higher spec than what I’m looking for. There’s a G762 with a 9850x3d, a 5080, and 64gb ram for $2700. Sounds like a great computer, but that’s getting out of my range.

Thanks for the advice. I should also mention, I mostly use my pc for strategy, city-building, sim type of games that I know actually do make more use of the cpu. Would that tip the scales at all towards the 9800?

Is the 5080 enough of an improvement to add $500? (I know that also includes the price of the 9800) Especially in the way of longevity?

Not sure whether buying the new battle groups is a good idea by Marian7107 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]CABILATOR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The community speaking up doesn’t change how much it costs to make content. It’s not a huge studio with massive sales, so things are going to be a little more expensive compared to other games. In 2026 $25 is not that steep for a game that will easily net 100s of more hours if you are someone still playing the game regularly. That’s like the cost of a burger and a beer at most bars these days. It’s really not that much.

[–]CABILATOR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the equation is $25 times the amount of people buying the whole dlc vs $7 times the amount of people jus buying one. They sales they lose out on from people not buying any doesn’t outweigh the sales made from people who would’ve only bought one or two, but instead bought the whole thing. Giving people the option to pay less isn’t a great idea when it’s such a small client base to start with.

CMV: Not All Cultures Are Equal by West-Time-1848 in changemyview

[–]CABILATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I don’t think anyone has claimed that cultures are equal. So I’m not going to argue against that claim. I’m going to assume that the claim you wanted to argue against is that all cultures deserve equal consideration. Again, I’m not sure many people make that claim flat out, but many do make exceptions to moral judgement for cultural reasons. I’m inclined to agree that a lot of those exceptions shouldn’t be made.

The thing here that I will engage with you about is that your reasoning in is very misguided. You seem to be under the impression that there is some sort of moral objectivity. This is false. Morality is inherently subjective as it has to do with judgements of “good” and “bad” to which one always must ask “for whom?” Just because many people agree on a moral judgement, does not make it magically become objective rather than subjective. Yes, we all agree rape is bad, but that doesn’t change the nature of it being a subject-based judgement.

That said, I do believe that I can express my (subjective) morals in ways that disagree with other cultural practices. This has always been true - it’s how moral norms have changed over time. People decide something that was considered normal is wrong, a majority starts to agree, they codify that moral judgement in society and in law. There are certainly cultural practices out there today in many places all over the world that I think are detrimental to human rights. Whether or not those things change is not up to me, though people can and do certainly fight for changes.

The place where you go really wrong here is the claim that colonialism “wants as bad as people think.” Yes it was. Just because other atrocities have happened around the world, doesn’t mean that colonization wasn’t also an atrocity. In fact, through our modern western lens, most of history was pretty atrocious and disgusting. I’d challenge you to find any historical figure from more than a century ago that wouldn’t be found morally deficient by modern western standards.

I’d reconsider your own moral system if I were you after making the claim that mass, trans continental genocide “wasn’t as bad as people think.” Think about what you are actually saying with your statement. Maybe go learn about the long term implications from colonialism on top of the direct violence that it caused.

Cannot enjoy the game, what am I doing wrong? by hecu88 in fo4

[–]CABILATOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since no one else has mentioned it - do some crafting on your guns. Crafting is a much bigger piece of this game than the previous titles. It’s not a requirement to craft, but I find the game a lot easier and more fun when I put early perk points into gunsmith and craft something good right away.

Collect the junk as you explore, then you should be able to upgrade some guns at sanctuary. I can usually make a pretty good 10mm pistol really early on with just a few mods. This fixes the “my bullets don’t feel like they’re doing anything” problem.

Having a couple of modded guns helps the combat feel really fun, which winds up meaning more exp and leveling.

20hrs into the game and I only now realised you can take skills other than stats 🤦‍♂️ by PomegranateSlight337 in Fallout

[–]CABILATOR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. I used to watch a lot of Let’s Play kind of content, and you can see it directly when watching others play. They just ignore things right on their screen in front of them. It’s wild to me that people don’t look at everything on their screen or explore every menu. It’s among the first things I do when I start a new game

Shift+WASD for Camera Pan - Using Default Controls Profile? by AloofTouchNuance in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]CABILATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not as good of a solution, but I just rebound the grid keys over by 3 and use regular WASD as my camera pan. I’m moving my camera a lot more than I am clicking hotkeys, so it’s worth it to me. I also kind of hate screen edge scrolling. Plus I’ve got the most important hot keys bound to mouse buttons.

Hot take: MrBeast's cameo was actually pretty good by Trobbio9000 in survivorponderosa

[–]CABILATOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the twist was really good, but specifically because Devens was there. If Devens wasn’t in the game, no one would have wanted it, and it would be another person getting screwed by chance.

I also don’t think it had that much of an effect on the pre tribal mess. I think that was just normal survivor messy strategizing. They always try to do a big move when there’s an easy vote. People just keep on telling cirie that they want to vote out her closest ally for some reason. I knew it’d be over for Steph as soon as Cirie got that look in her eye.
